SUMMARY:THE END OF POSTWAR
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTHE END OF POSTWAR December 2-3, 2015 - Palace of theÂ
  Academies, Brussels \n \nThe Thinker’s Programme around Ian Burum
 a starts from the observation that an end has come to the political an
 d social consensus that arose in Europe after the catastrophe of World
  War II. That consensus concerned the construction of welfare states, 
 the belief in the strength of a united Europe and faith in a pax Ameri
 cana.   The concluding two-day conference builds on two previous (clo
 sed) workshops debating on nationalism and populism, and how they help
  to undermine the post-war consensus. In his introduction, Ian Buruma 
 re-examines the contours of this consensus and how it was built in Eur
 ope on the rubble of two world wars, with welfare, unification, and pe
 ace as its primary pillars. With the fall of the Wall and the demise o
 f the Soviet Union after 1989, it looked for a while as if these pilla
 rs would be guaranteed for ever. When the communist threat disappeared
 , however, other forms of leftwing ideology, including social democrac
 y, traditionally anti-communist, began to lose their appeal. In the en
 suing vacuum, neoliberalism evolved into a pensée unique that, togeth
 er with the revival of nationalism and populism, is eating away at the
  consensus and putting the role of the welfare state under increased p
 ressure.

   This diagnosis paints a pessimistic picture. What ar
 e the alternatives for the future?\n \n\nPROGRAMME\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\
